The Power Of Love Part 13 As Catherine and Vincent enjoyed this special moment, Peter examined Mary and Jacob. When the examinations were completed Peter told them other than being a little thin they were in relatively good health considerating the drug Paracelus has been giving them. After a couple days rest, a few good meals and drinking a lot of water , they would be fine. Hearing the good news everyone let out a sigh of relief. Father and Mary were going to be fine. With Peter�s help Jacob asked to sit up. �Catherine dear sweet Catherine. Hearing father call her name Catherine left Vincent with baby Jacob and went to father�s side of the bed. �Yes father?� �Catherine, taking her hand within his own, I have no words to thank you for saving our lives.� �Had you not come �.?� She interrupted him, father there is no need to thank me.� �Catherine Vincent had hurt you and sent you away so many months ago, why did you come back?� Everyone�s attention was on Catherine now. Even Paracelus and Megan�s. �Father when Vincent requested the time apart so many months ago, I asked him to give me the one thing I always wanted.� The dream of truly being one.� �When he gave me that dream he also gave me hope of a future together.� �A week later he took it all away.� �He loved another.� �I was so hurt and in so much pain I couldn�t stay in New York. Too many things reminded me of Vincent so I moved to Connecticut.� �That day when I left the city I was leaving my heart behind.� �As I told Vincent, if only I had known what was going on Below.� �I could have done something anything to keep all of this from happening.� Father padded her hand, Catherine there was nothing you could have done.� �The damage was already done. �That�s what Vincent told me father but I disagree..� �I should have stayed here and fought for the man that I love.� �Vincent had hurt me so deeply.� �I let that hurt blind me father.� �I should have seen something was terribly wrong.� �I should have remembered the Vincent I fell in love with would never cause me such pain.� �But I didn�t and tears poured from her eyes. Vincent felt the regret, hurt and pain tearing into his Catherine�s heart. It took all of his willpower not to go to her, take her in his arms and stop her from doing this to herself but he knew she needed to relieve herself of all the heartache, stress, tension and guilt from the past months. So he let her continue. �When I found out I was carrying Vincent�s child.� �It was the happiest day of my life.� �But it was also one of sadness,� �Vincent would not be sharing this miracle with me.� �I turned into a shell of the person I used to be.� �The deepest part of my soul was gone.� �I was living only for our son.� As he was growing up, I started to miss New York. I decided eventhough baby Jacob may never see his father at least he would be near him. That�s when I decided to return here.� �The day I came back I laid the baby down for a nap and went out on my balcony.� �Vincent calls it our window to the world.� �It was the first time I felt Vincent�s presence in all those months. �He was calling out to me father.� It was a weak connection but it was there.� �I realized he must have been calling out to me for months.� �I was too far away to hear him.� �I felt him father, he was weak he was dying.� �I still loved him so deeply.� �I forgot about the hurt and pain he caused me.� �He needed me and I came.� Vincent gave Jamie the baby and went to her than. Taking her in his arms, he held her close. �Father Catherine�s love strength and courage brought me through my drug addiction.� �She nursed me back to health.� �She saved my life and our home.� Placing his hand gently under her chin, he lifted her eyes to meet his.� �I love you more than life itself Catherine.� By now everyone was in tears except for Paracelus , of course, but it didn�t matter. Nothing could come between this tender moment between Catherine and Vincent. After wiping the tears from his eyes, father asked to see his grandson. Jamie went to them and placed the baby in father�s arms. �Catherine, Vincent he�s beautiful.� �Yes he is isn�t he father they both replied.� After holding this little miracle in his arms, Jacob Wells knew all would be well. It was time to bring the tunnel world back to life. NEXT |
